I think that might be a good bet too. A few million bucks can guarantee a lot of "evidence" as the FBI and Scottish police demonstrated at Camp Zeist. Or are Richard Marquise and the rest of you conspiracy theorists still denying that you've ever heard of the Gauci bribe?Grendalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02207349599903280867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073021351804532798.post-11248615056960734852011-12-23T02:33:55.763+00:002011-12-23T02:33:55.763+00:00SM:

It's not the Welcome Wagon rolling in to welcome the NTC to the neighborhood!<br /><br />I feel badly for you all...all crestfallen when all the intelligence proves you all have been duped by Al-Megrahi...and sold out by MacAskill, et al.<br /><br />There is a difference between what is proven to a legal standard and what actually happened. However, I believe that it will also remain proven Al-Megrahi is guilty (even though there are appellate issues in play). <br /><br />And I will bet that Tim Tebow will lead the Broncos to the AFC West title and that the Broncos could actually make it to the Super Bowl, though Green Bay looks really strong this year.<br /><br />And I will bet that Al-Megrahi will begin "Tebowing" (Google it...it's all the rage in the USA) when he realizes that his "innocence story" is not borne out from the new evidence...and that will result in his trial in the USA.<br /><br />Happy Festivus!<br /><br />On a serious note, though we disagree, I do wish you all a Happy Hanukkah and / or Merry Christmas. <br /><br />Best regards from a snow covered Mile High City of Denver, Colorado...<br /><br />MichaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073021351804532798.post-18574626230983498492011-12-22T23:04:02.671+00:002011-12-22T23:04:02.671+00:00Hi Michael,
you and your betting!
To match your b...Hi Michael,<br />you and your betting!<br /><br />To match your bet somebody would have to say "I bet that Megrahi will be dead before (not too distant date)".<br />There are reasons enough not to make any such statement. Can't see why? Well, to quote Louis Armstrong: "If you gotta ask, you will never know".<br /><br />May I wish you a Happy New Year, with the hope that you'd use it constructively. E.g. in details looking into _why_ you think Megrahi is guilty, and then come back and debate it here.SMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272238187226269250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073021351804532798.post-502348153670372722011-12-22T19:10:28.903+00:002011-12-22T19:10:28.903+00:00I wish you all a Merry Christmas and/or Happy Hanu...I wish you all a Merry Christmas and/or Happy Hanukkah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1073021351804532798.post-79123996465657731822011-12-22T19:08:49.686+00:002011-12-22T19:08:49.686+00:00It's funny...

Again, I am not betting on something ghoulish like someone's passing...but betting on the veracity of the allegation of the degree of illness...I even noted the obvious inconsistent visual clues that a 3rd grader would see which indicated the "scene was staged". Instead, you all railed on me for being ignorant, a jerk, a yank (and other racist-inclined derivatives), a shill, yada yada yada...<br /><br />Well, it looks like I am about 10 days from being proven right. <br /><br />I bet this will be the same song, new verse this time next year too. <br /><br />He may be ill, but he's not terminal. <br /><br />Well, I guess we are all terminal, but he not materially more than the rest of us. <br /><br />It's a Festivus Miracle!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
